^CmLike a cat, Dragged in from the ^Crain. Who goes ^Cmstraight back out, To do it all over ^G#again. I'll be back for ^Cmmore.

It's something,

That is out of our ^Chands. Something we will never ^G#understand, It's a hidden ^Cmlaw, The apple ^A#falls. Destiny ^G#calls, I follow ^Cyou.

VERSE 2:

^CmLike a pawn, On the eternal ^Cboard. Who's never ^Cmquite sure, What he's moved ^G#towards. I walk blindly ^Cmon, And heaven is in front of ^Cme. Your heaven beckons me enticing^G#ly,

When I arrive.

It's ^Cmgone, The river ^A#flows. The wise man ^G#knows, I follow ^Cyou.

CHORUS 1: (Hawaiian guitar refrain over)

I'm ^A#yearning, I'm ^G#burning. ^A#I feel love's ^G#wheels turning.^A# ^A#7

VERSE 3: (Synth & Bass over)

^CmLike a moth, on love's bright ^Clight, I will get ^Cmburned. Each and every ^G#night, I'm dying ^Cmto(o). The sun will ^A#shine. The bottom ^G#line, I follow ^Cyou.

CHORUS 2: (Hawaiian guitar refrain over)

I'm ^A#yearning, I'm ^G#burning. ^A#I feel love's ^G#wheels turning.^A# ^A#7

VERSE 4: (Group humming over)

^CmLike a moth, on love's bright ^Clight, I will get ^Cmburned. Each and every ^G#night, I'm dying ^Cmto (o). The sun will ^A#shine. The bottom ^G#line, I follow ^Cyou.

CHORUS 3 & REFRAIN:

The sun will ^A#shine. The bottom ^G#line, I follow ^Cyou. The sun will ^A#shine. (Descending lead over) The bottom ^G#line, I follow ^Cyou. The sun will ^A#shine. (Descending lead over) The bottom ^G#line, I follow ^Cyou.

CODA: (Keyboards, Synth & Bass) |N/C |N/C | (Fade) [End] NOTES: 1. In 1999, Ned Raggett (US music journalist) ranked the album at number 50 on his list of "The Top 136 Or So Albums Of The Nineties". 2. This version is based on my experience of DM's 'dark' tunings and how Martin Gore matches them to suit David Gahan's voice. 3. Despite, Gahan's prolonged absences from the studio we are all indebted that Gore persisted to make this milestone album. "…Despite Gahan's increasingly severe personal problems, Gore tried repeatedly during 1995 and 1996 to get the band recording again. However, Gahan would rarely turn up to scheduled sessions, and when he did, it would take weeks to get any vocals recorded. …" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depeche_Mode
